March 21, 2020 117: Nick Compton: "Replacing something like cricket is certainly not easy"
Many sportsmen struggle post-retirement and Nick Compton is searching for his identity post cricket. He loves to travel and has spent the last few weeks in Africa, where he has also caught up with family. He loves photography and anyone following his Instagram knows he is pretty handy with a camera. And he has done some media work too.

Here he chats with the Cricket Badger, James Buttler, about life after cricket and his struggles with mental health since the age of 13. He speaks refreshingly candidly about putting life's jigsaw pieces together.
